The ocean is the origin of life. Will it breed other civilizations besides us?

As we all know, only the earth has life in the universe, and the life of the earth originated from the ocean. Under the rough sea, there are countless life elements, and our earth has been wrapped by it and turned into a blue planet. It is from this that human beings and other species originated and finally ruled the earth.

Although we are terrestrial creatures now, there are countless species on the land, in fact, the ocean is the most diverse, and the first batch of creatures evolved from single cells of the ocean. Humans are only the first 1 batch of creatures to land, so many scientists are very interested in the ocean.

However, the ocean is too big. It not only covers more than 70% of the earth's area, but also has a depth that human beings can't help. Take the Mariana Trench as an example, the ocean depth is over 654.38+00,000 meters, which is beyond the reach of all existing human technologies. Under this mysterious color, many people are wondering if there is another mystery hidden in the depths of the ocean.

In the upsurge of aliens in the last century, many theories about the origin of aliens have been described in science fiction works, including whisperd theory, inner world theory and even the most crucial point is ocean centre theory. That is to say, in addition to human beings coming out of the ocean and becoming the most powerful civilized species on earth, there is another species that thrives in the ocean, and they also become aliens in our eyes.

In the science fiction works of the last century, Atlantis also came into being. With the rich resources and energy of the ocean, the mysterious race has become a powerful civilization that transcends human science and technology countless times. Even in some sci-fi works, humans fought Atlantis and fled after being defeated. Even Neptune, which was recently hit, is a member of Atlantis, an underwater civilization.

However, science fiction is just imagination after all. With real scientific research, is it really possible for the marine world to breed another civilization? The answer may disappoint us.

Although the origin of life is the ocean, its environment is really good. Although the competition on the seabed seems fierce, in fact, its resource range and species diversity are very rich. There is a stable biological chain among all living things, and the seabed will not suddenly encounter the crisis of species extinction. Therefore, even after tens of thousands of years, those primitive creatures will not become extinct.

However, the land world is different. 1 batch of marine life that landed on the land world encountered various crises and disasters. They were forced to change the physiological characteristics of the respiratory system and even evolved their own minions and hair. After they finally survived and formed a stable biological chain, they often suffered from volcanic eruptions, asteroids hitting the earth and the Little Ice Age.

Disasters again and again forced species to constantly adjust their biological state, and forced gene mutation again and again, and powerful species on the earth changed batch after batch. Under this kind of cruel competition, human beings have gradually stepped onto the various advantages of the historical stage. It can be said that human beings can become civilized species, and the price paid is unimaginable.

On the other hand, we look at the creatures in the marine world. Their living environment is much better than that on land, and their ecosystem is stable, so their biological system is difficult to be broken through. Without a breakthrough, civilization can hardly develop. Like flowers in a greenhouse, they will never become powerful giants. Therefore, there should be no civilized creatures in the underwater world, and we are still the only humans on the earth.
